Pre meetings – Wednesday 18th September
Three separate full-day workshops are available to book:
- BSCI / BSCCT Introduction to Cardiac CT Level 1 – Registration £50.00 until 15 Aug / from 16 Aug £100 (VIEW PROGRAMME)
- A one day course aimed at clinicians (Cardiologists, Radiologists, Nuclear Physicians) requiring core (level 1) training in cardiac CT.
- There is no hands-on training as the aim is to provide basic knowledge about CT technique and introduce key concepts.
- The course material will cover the following topics using 50 case examples: Indications for Cardiac CT, Cardiac Anatomy, technical principles including CT acquisition protocols, dose reduction techniques and basics of patient preparation and administration of beta blockers. Reporting of Cardiac CT including Calcium score, CAD-RADS scoring and the identification of non-coronary and extra-cardiac incidental findings, and CT for TAVI workup will also be demonstrated.
- Course organisers and faculty: Dr Aparna Deshpande, Dr Mark Kon, Dr Sara Elfawal
- Nuclear Cardiology Core Curriculum Study Day £100.00 (VIEW PROGRAMME)
- A one day course aimed at cardiology and radiology trainees requiring core (level 1) training in nuclear cardiology
- Topics will include essential technical aspects of nuclear cardiology imaging including SPECT and PET with an emphasis on case based learning
- The programme will cover radiopharmaceuticals and cardiac stress for SPECT and PET MPS, SPECT and PET acquisition, processing and display, How to report SPECT and PET MPS, SECT and PET MPS cases, other nuclear cardiology tests scubas ERNV, MIBG and DPD.
- Course organisers and faculty: Dr Andrew Kelion, Dr Nik Sabharwal, Dr Andrew Crean
- Cardiac CT Study Day for Radiographers £50.00 (VIEW PROGRAMME)
